Description :

This book is an exceptional publication in more ways than one. Besides the fact that it is of exceptional print quality, the subject matter is of paramount importance to all Ashiq al-Rasul, salla Allahu 'alayhi wa Sallam.


This work gives a comprehensive description of the character and personality of the Beloved Prophet Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. It is said the author Imam ibn al-Jawzi, rahmatullahi 'alayhi,  based his work on Imam Qadi al-'Iyads, rahmatullahi 'alayhi, epic work Ash-Shifa titled al-Shifa bi Ta'rif Huquq al-Mustafa.



Orphaned of his father at age three, Ibn al-Jawzi was raised by his aunt who later brought him to the hadith scholar Ibn Nasir, his first shaykh. He took hadith from him as well as over eighty shaykhs and was teacher to his grandson Shams al-Din Yusuf ibn Qazghali al-Hanafi - Sibt al-Jawzi - as well as some of the greatest Hanbali hadith masters and jurists such as Muwaffaq al-Din Ibn Qudama, Ibn al-Najjar, and Diya' al-Din al-Maqdisi, may Allah have mercy upon them all.


Ibn al-Jawzi took a staunch Ash`ari stance in doctrine and courageously denounced the anthropomorphism of his school in the interpretation of the divine Attributes in his landmark work Daf` Shubah al-Tashbih bi Akuff al-Tanzih ("Rebuttal of the Insinuations of Anthropomorphism at the Hands of Divine Transcendence"), also known as al-Baz al-Ashhab al-Munqadd `ala Mukhalifi al-Madhhab ("The Flaming Falcon Swooping Down on the Dissenters of the [Hanbali] School").
